FAQ
Is this legal?
Yes. WowHead.click is a network proxy that routes your traffic through a server in a region where
Wowhead is accessible. This is the same technology used by every commercial VPN service.
We do not store, cache, or redistribute Wowhead's content. Your browser loads Wowhead
directly through our server.
Why is Wowhead blocked in my country?
Wowhead's parent company (ZAM Network / Fanbyte) discontinued service to several regions
citing operational costs vs. visitor numbers. Affected countries include Turkey, Indonesia,
Philippines, Thailand, India, Serbia, and others. The block is not related to sanctions
or political actions.
Is my data safe?
We don't store any browsing data, Wowhead account credentials, or page content.
We only track anonymous request counts for rate limiting. The extension only activates
on wowhead.com domains and doesn't touch any other browsing.
Can I log into my Wowhead account?
Through the web proxy, login may not work reliably because cookies and sessions
pass through our server. With the browser extension, your connection is tunneled
directly, so Wowhead logins work normally.
Why not just use a VPN?
You can. But a VPN routes all your traffic, costs $5-15/month, and requires installing
an app. WowHead.click only proxies Wowhead traffic, is free for most users, and works as a
lightweight browser extension. If you just need Wowhead, this is simpler.
